IRONING AND PRESSING BOARD.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 11, 191W.

Application filed August 20, 1914. Serial No. 857,631.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, BENJAMIN F. MARS- DEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Plad, in the county of Dallas and State of Missouri, have invented a new and useful Ironing and Pressing Board; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to improved ironing and pressing boards for attachment to a wall or the like, and an object of the invention is to provide a simple and efficient ironing board detachably supported as extending in a lateral direction from a wall when being used. When not in use the same may be partially detached and suspended from a wall in such wise as to be out of the way.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a small pressing board supported in a like manner above the ironing board, and provided with means to engage the ironing board, to more securely support both boards firmly in position.

In practical fields, the details of construction may necessitate alterations, falling within the scope of what is claimed.

The invention comprises further features and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings and claimed.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a view showing the improved ironing board and pressing board extending in a lateral position to the wall.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view, showing the ironing board and pressing board extending in a lateral direction from the wall.

Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view showing the ironing and pressing boards extended from the wall when not in use.

Fig. 4 is a detail perspective View of the bracket plate which is secured to the under face of the ironing board.

Fig. 5 is a view showing two links 9 in lieu of the one link 9, in which figure a plate 7 a is employed.

Fig. 6 is a detail view of the ironing board showing the plate 7% Referring more particularly to the draw ings, l designates the wall of the room or the like, to which a strip 2 is screwed or otherwise attached in any suitable manner.

A bracket plate 3 having laterally extending ears 4 is in turn screwed at 5 to the strip 2. A suitable ironing board 6 is provided, and upon its under surface extending transversely thereof is a plate 7, having downwardly extending ears 8. Connecting the ears 8 and the ears 4 is a link 9. The plate 7 is secured to the board as shown at 10. The ironing board is split as shown at 12 to form a sleeve pressing extension.

Plates 14 and 15 are secured to the wall as at 16 and 17 and are provided with laterally extending flanges 18 and 19 having apertures 20 and 21. A pressing board 22 is provided, and this pressing board is supported from underneath by the plates 23 and 24; having ears 25 and 26, which are connected by a link 27, and which is similar to the supporting structure of the board 6. The upper faces of the boards 6 and 22 adj acent the wall are provided with plates 28 and 29, having lugs 30 and 31. The lugs 30 pass through the apertures 20, the lugs 31 pass through the apertures 21, thereby detachably connecting the two boards to the flanges 18 and 19. A leg 32 is hingedly connected to the under face of the board 22, and engages the upper face of the board 6, in such wise as to hold the lugs 30 in the apertures 20, that is, when pressure is applied on the board 22. The boards 6 and 22 are provided with eyes 34 and 35, to engage a pin 36 of the wall, to support said boards when not in use.

In Fig. 5 there are two links 9*, shown as being connected to two sets of ears 4: of the plate 3. The ironing board in Fig. 6 has upon its under surface transversely thereof a plate 7 to the extensions 7 of which the links 9" are pivoted, there being nuts 7 threaded on said extensions to prevent displacement of the links 9*. It will be observed that by this construction the ironing board may close closer to the wall.

The invention having been set forth, what is claimed as new and useful is In combination, a horizontal support disposed at right angles to a vertical stationary support and having a recess in its upper face, said recess having a shoulder, a plate having a flange provided with perforations secured to said stationary support, a board having upwardly extending lugs at one end to engage said perforations, a bracket carried by the stationary support and having a In testimony whereof I have signed my pivoted brace linked to the under face of the name to this speclhcatlon 1n the presence of board, a brace lunged to the under face of t \y0 subserlblng Witnesses.
